Inserted Picture Disappears After Losing Focus
Aug 22, 2008
I have the same problem as Paul C in the following post:
(Pictures disappearing)
"Hi not a VBA problem, but when i insert pictures or logos into my workbook they disappear, i can insert a picture close the workbook but when i re-open it the picture has gone, i have to click on where it should be to get the border to appear, the move it to get it to appear.
I have tried inserting BPMS, JPGS, GIFS, but i have the same problem with them all, I have used the bring forward command but still have the same problem, I have even tried re-installing Office 2003 and installing all the latest updates but still get the same problem, any ideas?"
I have tried:
- Tools > Options > View > Objects > Show All
- Changing macro security level
- disabling macro security in my antivirus

I have an application where by the user only sees userforms which then writes the data to the back end worksheets. So the Menu or front useform I have set at vbModeless, which also means that the user can now open up or use an already opened spreadsheet. I believe I am correct in saying you can't do this if the userform is modal. Anyway this is what the user wants, i.e to be able work on multiple spreadsheets, whilst my app is open. The problem is when they click on one of the other open spreadsheets and then click one of the buttons on my application, you get an error.
I believe is because I use code such as
frmMetrics.Show
Where I haven't specified the actual workbook, so excel doesn't know where to go to find the userform. So how do I specify the workbook, without constantly having to change the line, when version numbers changes ?
eg
Application.workbooks("Book1")
For the next revision the file may be called Book1.1
Application.workbooks("Book1.1")

I'm using a VBA UserForm (ShowModal=False) as the front-end on a spreadsheet for logging purposes. Here's the progression of the problem:
1. I have the UserForm loaded and the cursor is in any given textbox/ combobox on the form.
2. I switch to another program, then come back to the UserForm.
3. The cursor no longer appears in whatever textbox/combobox I was in when I left the UserForm. If I type, nothing happens (I have to click the field again first, then type).
However, if I TAB, it will go to the next field in the Tab Order just fine. It seems that the control has "pseudo-focus"--it knows which field to tab to next, but the control won't accept input unless you click it. The odd thing is--this UserForm has a button which launches another "child" UserForm. That "child" UserForm does not have this problem.

My code is:
Code:
Sub Insertwinds1()
ppath = "winds.webimage.url"
With ActiveSheet.pictures.insert(ppath)
.left = Range("A2").left
.top = Range("A2").top
.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.CropRight = 70
.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Cropleft = 130
.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.CropTop = 300
.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.CropBottom = 90
End With
End Sub
This takes the image from the web (which is fairly large), moves it to Cell A2, and then Crops out the extra space I don't need showing. When this Macro is finished, due to the large Crop size, the image is in the center of the screen and nowwhere near the A2 cell. Is there a simple addition I can add to this code to move it back to a specific cell (a2) after it's been cropped? or move it via placement on the sheet (13, 13, 600, 600)? My old code I was using for this was:
Code:
Dim MYPICTURE As Shape
Set MYPICTURE = Activesheet.shapes.addshape(msoshaperectange, 13, 13, 600, 600)
MyPICTURE.fill.userpicture "winds.webimage.url"
End Sub
This one inserted the image, placed it in the specific spot... but I can't get that one to crop it, which is why I started over with teh first code.

I have inserted a listbox and based on the value selected a picture should be poped. I have searched the forum and got the code below. But it is throwing an error message "object required"
Private Sub ListBox1_Change()
If ListBox1.Value = "x" Then
Pictures("Picture 1").Visible = True
Else
Pictures("Picture 1").Visible = False
End If
End Sub
Then i modified it to
Sub ListBox1_Change()
If listbox1.Value = "1" Then
activesheets.Shapes("Picture 1").Visible = True
Else
activesheets.Shapes("Picture 1").Visible = False
End If
End Sub

In Excel 2010, is there any way to paste a picture into a small picture/diagram box, and upon double clicking the picture it would explode to a larger size? And I guess double clicking it again would make it return to its original (smaller) size. I would be pasting several pictures into several different picture/diagram boxes and would need this to be a relative reference so that upon selection it explodes the appropriate picture?

I have done the above where when I select a picture name from a drop down list it displays the relevant picture in another cell by using the IF function in the named formula
My question is why cant I use VLOOKUP instead of IF in the named formula. When I use it it comes with an error.

I have created an Excel spreadsheet with data. I froze the top row and added filters. This document will be used by numerous people, so I would like instructions for them on how to update the data on the same page as the data.
I put the text box off to the right of the data, but when the data is filtered, the text box is hidden along with the hidden rows.
Is there a way to have instructions to the right of the data that will not be hidden when applying filters? It does not have to be a text box but it does need to be on the same tab.

i got the userform to popup when the workbook is open and the buttons work fine... only problem is when i click on a button, it will ask the user yes or no... if the user press yes, it performs the required macro without any problem... but when the user press no, not only it will close the question, but also closes the userform... I would like the 'no' to close the question but not the userform...

I have a chart that I just added some dynamic text boxes to. That is the text is linked to a cell so that the text is automatically updated.
I also have a scroll bar that is used to adjust one of the cells. However, now once I click on the scroll bar it just disappears. I can click on the space where it is located and it will appear for a split second. Also, if I scroll down in the worksheet and then back up over the scroll bar the image will be refreshed and I can see the scroll bar again.
I didn’t have this problem until I added the dynamic text boxes, it worked fine with static text boxes.
Does anyone have any idea how to get around this, or do I have to stick with the static text boxes?

Whenever word wrap is applied the text is not visable in the cell. It
remains visable only in the bar above.
I have already confirmed autofit and it reduces the column to 1 character
wide.
I tried detect and repair on the installation and nothing.
I even upgraded from Excel 2k to Excel 2003 and no change.

I made a template file with a userform included to enter data into a protected sheet at the command of a button. When I open the template, everything works fine. However, when I use a macro to create a new workbook and import the template to create a new sheet (or several) the userform suddenly disappears! The template is saved as macro-enabled and the new workbook is saved the same way. What am I missing that I'm loosing the userform??

My Workbook contains the following macro in Sheet 1, which displays a pop-up calendar in L15 when that cell is selected:
Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
ActiveCell.Value = CDbl(Calendar1.Value)
ActiveCell.Select
Calendar1.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("L15"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Calendar1.Left = Target.Left + Target.Width - Calendar1.Width
Calendar1.Top = Target.Top + Target.Height
Calendar1.Visible = True
' select Today's date in the Calendar
Calendar1.Value = Date
ElseIf Calendar1.Visible Then Calendar1.Visible = False
End If
End Sub.........

I have a large spreadsheet with many cells that have a drop down list using data validation. The list is a named range with no blanks. Most of the cells show the default I have set. However, sometimes when changes occur in cells next to one with a drop down list, the default value mysteriously disappears and the cell appears blank. The functioning of the drop down lists is intact, it's just that the cell appears blank.

I add data validation into 4 columns and when i re-open the spread sheet after saving it, it clears all validation.
Although it clears the validation, the place where it gets the data from is still there. i have also unfroze panes and is still clearing data validation
Attached is the spread sheet. The data validation is in columns A, G, H and I on the 'unsourced' page and is getting the data frfom the 'Sheet1' Page.

using Office Professional Plus (2013). Within my spreadsheet, I have a series of progressive dates to be used in as a timeline. Ultimately, what I need to accomplish is that when I change one date, all the proceeding entries update according to my timeline criteria (in this case 3 weeks or 21 days). I created a SUM formula that worked but only calculated one time. Once the calculation completes, the cell drops the formula. I need this to be constant as the dates often change. How do I get the formula to maintain? Further more, is there a better method to accomplish the task at hand other than the SUM option?

On a sheet, I have a Worksheet_change sub that checks if the cell changed is in column 1, 10, or 19 and if it is, then the six cells to its right are filled with formulas I need. All formulas work, except for one. I've checked over and over again and the formula itself works fine - the coding behind it is exactly what it's supposed to be.
But for some reason sometimes the formula isn't put into the cell. I haven't found any pattern yet with this problem. Even stranger is that the formula is identical to one in another column before (which is also entered by the macro) and the other one has never disappeared yet. I'm setting both formulas with the abc.FormulaR1C1 property (I don't use the abc.Formula property to avoid having to write three different formulas - one for each possible column change).

I'm in the process of writing/editing a macro, but after I run the macro once, the Expressions in the Locals Watch window disappear, and if I try to run it again it produces an "Excel has encountered an error and needs to close". The macro probably doesn't make much sense out-of-context, but perhaps there's a glaring error that's causing this. A guess - possibly related to the Error Handling in the vba? (1st time I've used this in a macro).
Option Explicit
Sub Compare()
Dim strNaspK As String
Dim strCtryK As String
Dim intCtryRev As Integer
Do Until ActiveCell. Offset(1, 0) = ""
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
strNaspK = ActiveCell
strCtryK = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2)
On Error Goto ErrJump:........................
Basically, I've got two sets of data on different sheets, with NASP ID and country being variables. Just trying to import the data from the 'Comparison' sheet, if both the NASP id and country matches that on the first sheet, established by the variables.

I have a workbook I update from numerous sources every day. A few months ago I noticed some of my formatting started to disappear - a couple of borders were missing. a day or two later a couple of cells which had color were no longer colored. number formatting reverted to general so my percentages just showed up as decimals and my dollar values no longer had a $ or commas. Eventually - over the course of several weeks - all formatting in the document was completely gone. A couple of times throughout this process I tried replacing all the formatting, but as soon as I'd save the file, close it and open it back up whatever formatting related changes I had made would again disappear.
Eventually I went back a couple months and pulled an old file which still had its formatting and updated that instead. This worked fine... for about 2 months. three days ago I started noticing the same issues - a few borders disappeared in the file. two days ago a few more borders were gone and a couple of cells lost their color. yesterday and today it has gradually gotten worse again.

I have written a macro. The macro in question simply shows a user form. There is far more code within the user form itself. It is designed to automatically format a workbook.
I saved the macro as an .xlam add-in file to the default folder. I then added a button for the macro to my Quick Access Toolbar. This seemed to work great.
However, when I open a new file that I want to run the macro on, the button disappears. In fact, a 2nd Excel window opens up on my task bar. The original window still has the macro button, but the new window does not.

In versions prior to Excel 2007, I was always able to copy a chart when I copied a tab. However, when I copy a tab in 2007, the data copies fine, but the chart does not. Something similar happens when I try to move a tab with a chart on it to another workbook.

In the attached file (I'm sorry it is zipped, it was just too big), I gave you a snippet of my database. The actual one has 9000+ records. Over in Y4, you'll see the Sum of all the amounts (column X). Run the first macro, that is, Copy Dups, and you'll see it splits the item up by the numbers in column N. This works perfectly (or so it appears.) Then, run the Summary macro (the only other macro in there) and you will see that it pulls the Sums of each spreadsheet and places them on one nice overview page. The summary page. The only problem is, the total of the subtotals on the summary page do not match the total on the main (unadultered) page. I hope i am explaining this right. Somewhere in the macros, I am losing data from my spreadsheets so that the summary page is not equal to the un-macro'd data.
